Mattel163 enhances inclusivity in its popular mobile card games with a groundbreaking update: Beyond Colors. This feature makes UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile more accessible to the estimated 300 million people globally affected by color blindness.
Beyond Colors: A Clearer Game for All
Traditional card colors are replaced with easily distinguishable shapes—squares, triangles, and more—allowing all players to identify cards without relying on color perception. This thoughtful design ensures fair and enjoyable gameplay for everyone.
Activating Beyond Colors
Enabling Beyond Colors is simple:
- Tap your in-game avatar.
- Go to your account settings.
- Select the Beyond Colors deck under card theme options.
Collaboration for Inclusivity
Mattel163 partnered with colorblind gamers to ensure the new symbols are intuitive and effective. This initiative reflects Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility, with a goal of making 80% of their games colorblind-accessible by 2025. The development involved collaboration with color vision deficiency experts and the global gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color differentiation, such as patterns and tactile cues.
Consistent Across Games
The shape system in Beyond Colors remains consistent across UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile, providing a unified experience. Learn the symbols in one game, and you're ready for all three! Download them now from the Google Play Store.
